About this home
This 4166 sq ft building is steeped in character and history, offering an extraordinary canvas for transformation. Built in 1977 as a pottery studio and sign making shop, it still carries its artisan roots including a large kiln on site, ready for use. The post and beam construction is a centerpiece, featuring reclaimed beams from a former fertilizer factory in Georgia. Some of these timbers measure an impressive 11' x 16" and are believed to be clear heart pine, a wood renowned for its durability and rich grain. Both the interior and exterior are clad in cypress, adding warmth and natural beauty to the structure. With its expansive open spaces, the building provides a perfect template to be remodeled into a one of a kind mountain home. The large beams and open framework lend themselves to custom layouts, whether you envision a rustic retreat, a modern mountain lodge, or a blend of both. Set on approximately 5.65 total acres, the property includes a .72 acre building lot, (separate PIN #) allowing flexibility for future investment or selling it separately. And also a beautiful level field that could be perfect for gardens or anything permitted by the town. Its location on one of Banner Elk’s original historic roads ties the property to the area’s past, while the surrounding High Country landscape offers endless recreational and lifestyle opportunities. This property is more than just a structure, it is an opportunity to craft a home as unique and enduring as the materials it was built with.
